Do you have a preference between ATI or nVidia?

nVidia have the 7800 GTX model which will certainly make games look very good

ATI on the hand have the X1900 card and it claims to be the world's fastest consumer graphics processor!!

Both are worth looking at, but if I was deciding I'd say nVidia but then again I don't know why!

I have always used nVidia, so i have to vouch for the 7800GTX. My friend has it in his computer, and its awesome! BF2: SF run so good on it! Everything is so crystal clear, and the details are amazing.

nVidia for me although I only have the 6600 at the moment I plan to upgrade to the 7800 GTX in the near future
